Bulldog ‘shop’ now open for business

Posted on September 6, 2019

Taylor County High School students participating in the work-based learning experience program will once again be operating the “Bulldog Educational Enterprise,” a mini thrift store/in-door yard sale.

Students will open the doors Monday through Friday from 9-2 p.m. at 520 E. Lafayette Street.

“Students receive donations from the community, organize these donations and host yard sales, in addition to serving the community by assisting in giving to those who may be in need,” Coordinator Robin Baker said.

“This program has multiple goals. One is to teach students that community service is vital to community survival. Another is to have the students develop interpersonal skills through cooperative service learning. These students will also begin developing and benefitting from the profits of the weekly yard sales, learning banking skills, financial management skills, individual and group responsibility, work habits and ‘soft skills’ that will help these young people transition into more independent, successful adult living,” she said.

Donations are needed to continue this program, please visit the Bulldog Educational Enterprise Facebook page to contact Baker or Angela Jones if you are interested in donating items.
